scrappity blog

I’ve been wanting to explain how Scrappity came about. I posted in a thread on DST and thought hey why don’t post it here too! ROLF!

I actually set-up Scrappity the site to get some aussie scrappers together(who I knew from a forum, unrelated to scrapping) that were quite new to scrapbooking and wanted a place to share their ideas. I’m quite technical and had a spare vbulletin forum that was sitting there collecting dust so I said “why don’t you share your layouts on a forum” and then Scrappity came about! I actually wasn’t into scrapping initially, just helping out some friends, but now I really enjoy it. I’m not a traditional scrapper I suppose, but it’s helped improve my photoshop skills dramatically (my DST gallery). I am actually a web designer by trade. So for those who wonder why I don’t have many photos in my layouts, you might understand why - he he! Also I don’t have any kids, which I suppose is the main reason for people to scrap. However, I still get something out of designing layouts, even if they are not the traditional scraps

Anyway, I now have become really goods friends with a gorgeous lady who helps me out on scraps, mamma jj. It’s been just a really nice journey becoming closer with her from setting up the forum, we bounce ideas off each other and she really believes in the site. I’ve been part of forums prior to this, but never really came close to calling someone online a “really good friend”. I have also have become closer to the girls that were on the other forum, who I probably would of never go to know, if it wasn’t for Scrappity. Flergs is also part of that other forum and she was really the one that introduced us ladies to the world of digital scrapbooking

Scrappity doesn’t sell any products, it’s literally a place to just share your ideas or show what you design etc. I’m really up for people to contribute to the site offer suggestion, to help it grow into a great place

So there’s a little background into Scrappity and thanks Jo for all your help

I should really journal this

And if you haven’t heard there is a cool little challenge on at the moment at scraps - had to get that in
